    So much depends on the weather.

    It seems like I missed the decent weather while the car was down. It's early yet but the radar has had no breaks where I am. Soon I want to go play with the Buick.

    Impulsive 3.8 swap.

    Lost data in this thread: KB 1xb cam had a wiped lobe. I replaced it with a different Elgin cam and had to pull the heads while the swap happened for guide shortening and seals. Learned that it has hyper pistons in it with more compression. Then more time passes and this machine was stolen and...

    Alky Control LED/pump issue and repair.

    This post is to make aware of a potential problem that might appear in some kits and what I did to prevent it. For the last few years my turn on LED would flicker red and make the smallest flashes over bumps or drops while off boost. This wasn't an issue at first as the system would still hit...
